FARRINGTON DANIELS “Doc’’ AA I) 2S AX2 Assistant Professor of Theoretical Chemistry B. S., University of Minn., 1910, and M. S., 1911; Ph. D., Harvard, 1914; Assistant in Chemistry, University of Minn., 1910-11; Austin Teaching Fellov , Harvard, 1911-13; Instructor in Theoretical Chemistry, W. P. I., 1914-16; Assistant Professor, 1917- If one were possessed with the idea that a scientist is an absent-minded looking individual, a single glance at “Doc” would rid him of this delusion forever. “Doc’s” ready smile, immac¬ ulate appearance, and pleasant manner have won the hearts of all of us. He lives in a realm of theory, and the enthusiasm which he showed in teaching his subject was contagious to the extent that we were actually guilty of “scab¬ bing” some of his pet experiments—a compli¬ ment to a teacher of Chemists, indeed. JOHN AUSTIN SPAULDING “Johnny” ! 2 K 1 B K A. B., Harvard, 1911, A. M., 1912, and Ph. D., 1917; Sheldon Fellow, Harvard, in Germany, 1912-13; Instructor in German, W. P. I., 1914-16; Assistant Professor of German, 1917- After three years at the Institute, one of them as head of the Department of Modern Languages, Mr. Spaulding was deservedly made a member of the Faculty; but we have not had the opportunity to call him by his new title as he has answered a greater call to service. A leave of absence has been granted Prof. Spaulding for the duration of the war, and he is serving in the army of the country. His welcome back to Tech at the end of the war will be a hearty one.

Snsitructorsi JOHN JERNBERG “Johnny” Instructor in Forge Practice, W. P. ., 1882- Mr. Jernberg, one of the most popular of instructors, will always come to our minds as the man who was never anything else than jolly. “Johnny’s ’ happy disposition is contagious, too. His skill in his work is uncanny to see. It always was a mystery why we couldn’t also weld and shape iron and steel. At first we thought it must be the iron, but “Johnny” would even let us use the piece he had been working. BURTON LINWOOU GRAY Instructor in Foundry Practice, W. P. I., 1910 Upon Mr. Gray fell the duty of instructing us in Foundry Practice. He did his duty well, however, for he stopped at nothing, even to making us get into the cupola furnace where the other fellows could throw stuff down on us from above. “B. L.” is a man with whom it is easy and worth while to get acquainted whether or not you ever have him as an instructor. Page 30
